    Anybody have experience with paving?

    If the bed has sat for 5 weeks and it has rained on it you could have soft spots, this is the death of asphalt.

    Bottling Apfelwein

    I was thinking of making a bottle hanger type lable with serving suggestions listed on it, sweeten with splenda, sprite, warm with cinnamon, etc . I was thinking of carbing though to make more like a sparkling cider.

    Why do my bottles keep losing carbonation? I can't figure this out!

    you can also put a balloon over a capped bottle to see if you are losing pressure. If the balloon changes volume you are not getting a proper seal.

    Boiling with top on

    My understanding is that DMS will not boil off if the lid is on during the boil. check out the Wiki. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/wiki/index.php/Dimethyl_sulfides#Causes_of_DMS[/URL] I have never tasted what the article discribes but it says a cooked or creamed corn taste.

    Which copper tubing for the chiller?

    +1 On JMSetzler's rig Type L is a thicker wall guage but the refrigeration tubing would probably be easier to form. 20ft is probably not be enough length. The 1/2 inch diameter would give more surface area and flow to cool quicker.

    What would you serve?

    on the cbs morning show they had said the selections would be beck's, bud, and blue moon. Harry Smith called Blue Moon a micro brew. I guess Obama never said they would work it out over a good beer.
